從臺灣而來的祝福
在地球上其他地方，每一分鐘就有60秒過去。
可是在中國，每一年卻只有364個日子，有一天被遺忘掉了。
過去在台灣，我們也曾經有許多日子，不能出現在日曆上面，但我們一個一個把它們找回來了。因為我們不必再隱匿歷史，所以我們可以共同思索未來。
希望這世界上每一個角落、每一片土地，都不要再有消失的日子。也祝福香港。
Blessings from Taiwan
Around the world, there are 365 days in a year. Yet in China, one of those days is purposely forgotten each year. In Taiwan, there were once days missing from our calendar, but we’ve worked to bring them to light. I hope one day China can say the same.

You can ban gatherings, but you can't resist people's hearts:
Mourning June 4th on Animal Crossing
The Hong Kong government has banned the Tiananmen massacre commemoration in Victoria Park for the first time in 30 years, on the pretext of epidemic prevention.
However, the public's heart for mourning did not give up. In addition to the mourning activities in various districts, players of the popular game "Animal Crossing" also took advantage of its high degree of freedom to arrange their own islands and organize alternative mourning activities to express their feelings for the massacre.
"Animal Crossing" was previously taken off shelves in China due to its high degree of freedom.

Evident favoritism towards Pro-china Broadcaster in Communications Authority’s Enforcement
The complaint against the RTHK programme, Headliner, a popular satirical show, for "defaming and insulting" Hong Kong Police force was substantiated according to findings from Communications Authority’s investigation.
The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, which oversees the Authority, said no broadcaster should spread hatred and the Bureau chief, Edward Yau Tang-wah, demanded an immediate review and suspension of the programme.
When it comes to controversial programmes produced by pro-china broadcasters, Hong Kong officials responded differently. A 80-min program about the Hong Kong ptotesds, which was produced by the Chinese Central Television (CCTV), was broadcasted in early June on all of the city’s free and paid TV channels, including TVB News & Finance Channel, NOW Finance Channel and Cable TV paid channel.
The program claimed to "analyse the hidden forces" behind the movement, pointing fingers directly at the “pro-independence” politicians and "foreign interference" for "strategizing and inciting the riots".
The US consulate accused the CCTV program as a “blatant fraudulent misrepresentation” and 377 complaints were received as the Communications Authority admitted.
Charles Mok, Panel Chair on Information Technology and Broadcasting of Legislative Council said “the content of the documentary could be tightened”. He urged the Authority to seriously investigate into the matter.
Surprisingly, CEDB stepped back on this incident and responded conservatively by only highlighting formalities and established complaint handling procedures as their defense.

“This is an attitude problem with the police”: Intern Journalist Fined for Gathering Ban
Earlier, an intern journalist of Stand News was issued a fine ticket due to violations of the gathering ban (Cap. 599G). When tried to explain her identity, the police asked for a valid accreditation from the Hong Kong Journalists’ Association, which was simply absent due to the journalist being an intern.
Ronson Chan, a senior journalist in Hong Kong, expressed his bewilderedness to the event. “There is a problem with the [police's] attitude during law enforcement.” he said.
“The Hong Kong Police Force announced that they didn’t recognise those documents anymore. Why are they asking for them again?” He noticed the officers involved belonged to the Police Tactical Unit. “Their training were mainly physical, and may not be equipped with adequate knowledge on the matter.” He went on to state it is important to know which team these officers belong to in order to follow up the case.

Hong Kong Artists Use Creative Means to Remember June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
Part 1:
Although the Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on the 32nd anniversary of #TiananmenMassacre on June 4, 2021, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance.
Many artists and performers in Hong Kong held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.
Political cartoonist #ZunZi continued his 32-year tradition of drawing a June 4-themed cartoon, despite the threat of #NationalSecurityLaw.
"Considering the situation this year, it doesn't matter if anyone else is speaking up about [June 4]," he says, referring to how much satire he intended to put into this year's comic. "I need to draw more!"

Hong Kong Artist Invites the Public to Fill in the Blanks in "6:4" Ratio
Part 4:
Although Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on this 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance. Many artists and performers held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.
Hong Kong Artist Chan Ka-Hing designed an all-white t-shirt with no graphic, but only a flat, black rectangle -- with sides in the ratio of 6:4.
"Determining what message and memories the shirt conveys is left as an exercise to the observer," Chan reflected on the motif of his work.
Chan had been making art work of similar minimalistic style for the past two years on June 4. He aims to make it easier for the public to participate.
"Everybody can try it out, and do it on their own. Eventually, that idea or concept will become a connection for all of us," Chan said.

#China fighter jet intercepts Australian plane - Canberra
// #Australia has accused the pilot of a Chinese fighter jet of carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre near one of its aircraft over the South China Sea.
It says the Chinese aircraft released flares and cut in front of the Australian surveillance plane.
The Chinese jet then released "chaff" - an anti-radar device which includes small pieces of aluminium which entered the Australian plane's engine.
Beijing claims most of the region as its own territory.
But the US, neighbouring countries and others, including Australia, dispute its claim.
In February, Australia accused a Chinese navy ship of shining a military grade laser towards one of its warplanes over the Arafura Sea off northern Australia.
